What words of wisdom completed you today?


I'll share:

"There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self." Hindu Proverb
 
First of all, to both of you for starting out this GONNA-BE *GREAT* THREAD with a bang!!

Second: @Winding Voices - gun-at-my-head, that Hindu Proverb you just posted is one of my five all-time greatest quotations, and as a lover of quotations, I love literally THOUSANDS of them!

Here's another of my faves:

"Mediocrity knows of nothing higher than itself.

But TALENT *INSTANTLY* recognizes GENIUS."

-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


Keep 'em coming - let's do these ONE QUOTE PER POST, I suggest, so that this thread can remain relevant for a long period of time, and so more Bluelighters can have the opportunity to contribute!

Great thread!
 
"The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: a miracle and unrepeatable." - Storm Jameson

LL it is super nice to see you lately! I am particularly thankful for your kind words (you were like one of the first BLers I looked up to back in 02 :) ) <3. I give loves back to you.

Everyone, please feel free to discuss others quotes, just as long as we do end up back to another quote. :D



"You gotta lay shit in order to grow flowers" - My father =D
 
"There's a party in my mind...and I hope it never stops/I'm stuck here in this seat...I might not stand up/Other people can go home...Everybody else will split/I'll be here all the time...I can never quit"
-Talking Heads, "Memories Can't Wait," 1979

hmmm

When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.”

–Joseph Campbell Always do whatever's next.
George Carlin

Always do whatever's next.
George Carlin
 
“Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.” --Bertrand Russell
 
Beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man, we find his... nucleus. -Jack Black
 
"Sometimes you have to get away to get back,
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find yourself,
Sometimes you have to die in order to live."

-anonymous
 
That is a great one Blissfulabyss. Ridiculously true! :)

I have to post two!! They are immensely beautiful!

The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. Native American Proverb


------------------------------------------------

A Native American boy was talking with his grandfather.

"What do you think about the world situation?" he asked.

The grandfather replied, "I feel like wolves are fighting in my heart.
One is full of anger and hatred; the other is full of love, forgiveness, and peace."

"Which one will win?" asked the boy.

To which the grandfather replied, "The one I feed."
Native American Proverb

"From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

-- Sir Winston Churchill

If, hypothetically, Churchill had decided to pursue stand-up comedy instead of becoming a mere world leader, he would have been one of the best comics of all time.

Fucking genius.
 
two of my absolute favourite quotes:

"no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" (eleanor roosevelt)

"you must be the change you wish to see in the world" (gandhi)

My contribution for the day:

Told TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED *YEARS* AGO!

It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.
